The 1985–86 European Cup was the 31st season of UEFAs premier club football tournament, the European Cup. The European Champion Clubs Cup was won by Steaua Bucharest on penalties in a final against Barcelona. Steaua became the first Eastern European side to win the tournament, mainly thanks to the heroics of their goalkeeper Helmuth Duckadam, who after keeping a clean sheet in the final saved all four of Barcelonas penalties to win the cup. No English club was entered into the competition this year, owing to a ban from European competition after the Heysel Stadium disaster. Had the ban not been imposed, then Everton would have represented England in the competition. Juventus, the defending champions, were eliminated by Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
